Understanding Hard Machining Services
29 June 2020
Hard machining is usually exclusive for machining parts that exceeds the hardness level of 45 HRC. More often than not, parts ranging from 58-68 HRC are the ones that require hard machining services. They usually make use of work piece materials such as hardened alloy steels, tool steels, case-hardened steels, superalloys, nitrided irons and hard-chrome-coated steels, and heat-treated powder metallurgical parts. Afterwards, it undergoes a finishing or semi-finishing process that ensures high dimensions, form, and surface finish accuracy. Read on below to understand hard machining services. Hard Machining Services Overview After its invention in the mid 1980’s, hard machining services […]

Plastic Machining Process: How Does it Work?
11 June 2020
One of the main attributes of plastics materials is their ability to be moulded into a finished component with no need for subsequent work to be carried out. Complicated shapes, holes and undercut features can be moulded into the component using tooling and moulding techniques. However all this comes at a cost of tooling expense. Moulding tools and forming equipment used in the various plastic moulding processes are invariably hand made one off creations. They can often take weeks and months to manufacture with a resultantly high cost. Where a plastics component is specified and the numbers to be used […]

CNC Milling and Turning: Are There Any Differences?
25 May 2020
Custom machining services provide valuable resource to businesses and industries such as defence, optics, pharmaceutical, machinery, automotive. The skilled craftsmen at machine shops use hand crafting and computer-controlled machines to fabricate replacement parts, customized designs, and perform maintenance and repair on various pieces of equipment from lawn mowers to ice houses to heavy equipment used on farms. CNC Machining is a process used in the manufacturing sector that involves the use of computers to control machine tools. Tools that can be controlled in this manner include lathes, mills, routers and grinders. The CNC in CNC Machining stands for Computer Numerical […]

Understanding What EDM Die Sinking is All About
11 May 2020
Electrical Discharge Machine(EDM) Die-sinking, also called as a cavity type EDM or volume EDM, consists of an electrode and work piece submerged in an insulating liquid such as, more typically, oil or, less frequently, other dielectric fluids. The electrode and work piece are connected to a suitable power supply. The power supply generates an electrical potential between the two parts. As the electrode approaches the work piece, dielectric breakdown occurs in the fluid, forming a plasma channel, and a small spark jumps. Read further below to understand what EDM Die Sinking is all about. EDM Die Sinking Basics The sparks […]

CNC Operators’ Rules and Precautions before Running CNC Machines
28 April 2020
Computer Numerical Control (CNC) is the process by which a computer converts the design produced by Computer Aided Design software (CAD), into numbers. The numbers can be considered to be the coordinates of a graph and they control the movement of the cutter. In this way the computer controls the cutting and shaping of the material. CNC operators are responsible for any CNC machine crash when they are in operation. Crashes happen frequently on the shop floor and are often catastrophic and costly. Accidents are usually due to the lack of skilled CNC Operators or well-trained CNC Operators within the […]
